Numbers 19:19Easy To Read Version“Then a clean [262] person must sprinkle this water on the unclean [263] person on the third day and again on the seventh day. On the seventh day, that person becomes clean. He must wash his clothes in water. He will become clean in the evening. See the chapter |
If a person touches a dead body, then that person is unclean. If that person stays unclean and then goes to the Holy Tent, [257] then the Holy Tent becomes unclean. So that person must be separated from the people of Israel. If the special water is not thrown on an unclean person, then that person will stay unclean.
A clean person must take a hyssop [261] branch and dip it into the water. Then he must sprinkle it over the tent, the dishes, and the people who were in the tent. You must do this to anyone that touches a dead person’s body. You must do this to anyone that touches the body of someone killed in war and to anyone that touches a grave or the bones from a dead person.
